| HISTORY/BIOGRAPHICAL SKETCH: | The Roman Catholic parish at La Corey started to ask for teaching Sisters in 1939. It was only in 1941 that two Sisters of the Assumption came from Hobbema to La Corey in order to look after the educational needs of the French-Canadian parish. In addition to regular teaching in the school, the Sisters provided medical care and taught catechism in the surrounding area. In 1963 several students were transferred to Bonnyville and the small number of students left at La Corey did not justify the need for a local school. The Sisters of the Assumption left La Corey in 1964. |
